As of an update on 21 January2014, the price of repair depends on the player's Smithing level, starting at 3 million coins (and half of that for the off-hand weapon) at level 1 Smithing and ending at 1.5 million coins at level 99 Smithing (and half of that for the off-hand weapon). Prior to this update, drygore weaponry cost a set amount of coins to repair.

It is a common misconception that when using abilities, the drygore mace is weaker than the rapier or longsword because of its lower damage rating. However, weapon speed affects ability damage so the three weapons offer the same damage per second.
